In one article the writer calls the ship a Corvette, a Destroyer, and a Battleship.
Reporters are idiots...
Now it’s a Chinese* junk.
*They’ll probably end up buying it for scrap like they’ve done for several other Russian ships.
That caught my eye too. Writer obviously has no clue about navy terminology. Kind of makes me wonder if the writer’s usual beat is reporting on vegetable gardens.
It is apparently a corvette class ship - slightly smaller in size and displacement than our (now decommissioned) Perry class frigates.
Nothing particularly stealthy about the class other than their small size and relatively clean lines. Decent looking ships. Nothing particularly sinister about them either. They have VLS cells which is presumably where they store whatever missiles they are armed with.
